Cutting CORIAN

[Loudog419]

Does anyone here have any data on Spindle Speeds and Feed Rates.

 

I'm new to the MasterCAM software, as well as, the whole CNC programming. Any data that can be provided is greatly appreciated.

Hi have cut lots of corian and allways balls to the wall. 15000 rpm with a 3/4" 4fl solid carbide em and 300+ ipm. 1/2" deep pockets 5 or 6" dia. we were making counter tops for a security firm here in town, they mounted a magnetic card reader in the pocket and then we engraved on top surface. no coolant just blasted air from air gun. block off or drain coolant tank. chips are not chips but dust that looks like chips. just touch them and they crumble. makes a very nice mess when mixed with water.

+1000 to bob - it does horrible things to your coolant.
